probably unless its been drained. it will sit in the float pan and go nowheres. there will be more varnish in the pan then anywhere else in the motor.
1) the tolerance on this 1 mm is +/- 0,5 mm. I left mine when measured last year at their 1,5 mm value, because any change in float level requires readjustment of the mixture screws
2) HIF float needles often fail for no apparent reason, I renew them everytime I clean HIFs
(once every 5 years or so) Needle springs keep their strength over such periods.
Thanks a lot Bob, the Haynes book is bordering on useless

if the engine is turned off, does the float have fuel in it?

Well done!
Two small additions though:
1) the tolerance on this 1 mm is +/- 0,5 mm. I left mine when measured last year at their 1,5 mm value, because any change in float level requires readjustment of the mixture screws
2) HIF float needles often fail for no apparent reason, I renew them everytime I clean HIFs
(once every 5 years or so) Needle springs keep their strength over such periods.
For the rest I find HIF superior to HS carbs
